    How can a woman trust her man enough to bring him to a store for women (and vice versa)

    Seems to me to make more sense for the scorpion to take the frog shopping beforehand, thus lulling his victim so that when he fakes losing control midstream (instead of waiting until closer to shore so he doesn't drown since the frog wouldn't under normal circumstances) therefore the frog is at fault because, rather than keep on swimming to shore, he stopped so they both drowned. Honorable frog would have done his best to save the scorpion even after being stung.

    You've done this before, haven't you?

    I don't want to be overly suspicious but I also don't want to be completely naïve. It's like that parable of the scorpion and the frog. The scorpion can't swim and asks the frog to take him across the river. The frog hesitates but the scorpion says they would both drown if the frog was stung. The frog takes the scorpion on it's back and halfway in the river the scorpion stings the frog. The frog asks why they did that and scorpion says 'I can't help it. It's my nature to sting'. 

    In which case it won't make any difference if the frog had taken the scorpion shopping beforehand.

    It's Dick and Dom! I don't know this latest one as I don't watch kids' TV anymore, now that I'm a cleverclogs 🤣 But nothing they did really made sense, they just liked being annoying, lol. I didn't know they were still going!

    Oh, they're still going, they're out of da bungalow and doing this. And Absolute Genius, which is genuinely brilliant. But I didn't think you'd get their name past the forum filter.

    (Oh hang on...the filter is American! 😆)

    What scares me?

    Diddy TV. Diddy TV scares the living daylights out of me.

    What is this? How did the concept arise? How did they pitch it? What am I watching?

     

    ETA: Hang on, that's not the version I know. Oh good lord, there are two of them. This is the one I know, where they sing about the programme getting axed and coming back to win a Bafta...are they saying Dafta?

    Diddy TV. Be very afraid.

    The owners of the Peter Pan brand are not Disney either, as Peter Pan belongs (in perpetuity) to a London children's hospital, the Great Ormond Street Hospital (GOSH).

    The hospital was featured in the opening ceremony of London's 2012 olympic games.

    And it saved the life of a friend of mine when we were children. Twice. She was in the Parrot ward. She's now married with a child, and we truly thought we were going to lose her. 

    Sorry. As you were.

    My contribution is not really a funny conversation,. but just an insight perhaps into why people IM random strangers. Took place a safe hub (yeah, it's a bad habit but the antics of other users are too funny to pass up.)

    Dude: hi

    Me: hello. may I help you?

    Dude: help? hahaha!

    Me: Well then why did you IM me?

    Dude: It's a form of communication. (Yet he could have just said my avi's name in local if he wanted to talk to me specifically...I mean he doesn't hesitate to talk on local chat or on mic....)

    (This is a guy who usually is on voice talking about fringe political stuff and conspiracy theories. )

     

    Surely you know he's beyond help.

    Not a private conversation, and maybe RP doesn't count, and I've told this story before... but one of the (unintentionally) funniest exchanges I ever saw was while I was still fool enough to be in Gor. I was in a tavern and, most unusually, there was a handful of free people being served and only one slave on bar duty. You'd think she'd have been in her element, but she spent so long emoting about the rustle of her silks and the light bouncing off her hair that she wasn't paying attention to the drinks order and kept stuffing it up (and how you manage that when you could just scroll back through the chat to check it is anyone's guess, but hey, it was Bore). Eventually one of the Gorean Masters got so pissed off that he lost his rag, and they started having a full on barney in double brackets, with the twonk still capitalising all his pronouns throughout. I laughed so hard I think I'd have spilled my pint, if I had ever actually received it.

    And why I never couples dance with random strangers, ever.

     


     Random Asshat): you're into the bdsm thing ...right
     Rowan (rowanminx): not necessarily
     Rowan (rowanminx): I like places with people
     Random Asshat): do you like a good spanking?

    Rowan (rowanminx): not from random people, no
     Random Asshat): do you like to be forced
     Rowan (rowanminx): Kind of personally question from someone I've just met, don't you think?
     Rowan (rowanminx): personal*
     Random Asshat): yes and no
     Random Asshat): it's not a personal question.....when it comes to bdsm
     Rowan (rowanminx): If you're just looking for someone to hop on a poseball real quick, you've picked the wrong woman
     Random Asshat): it's a desire or fantasy
     Rowan (rowanminx): it's personal if I've just met you
     Random Asshat): are you obedient?
     Rowan (rowanminx): I'll be standing now
     Rowan (rowanminx): that should answer your question
     Random Asshat): that's too bad......you need a good spanking for disobeying
    Rowan (rowanminx): why?  you're nothing to me.  Why would I obey you?
     Random Asshat): you should have more respect for a Master
     Rowan (rowanminx): you are not MY master
     Random Asshat): doesn't matter
     Rowan (rowanminx): yes, it does
     Rowan (rowanminx): I'm not a slave

     Rowan (rowanminx): as I said before..you are nothing to me so why would I obey you?
     Random Asshat): As a Master....I will be patient with you......
     Random Asshat): do you have any idea what a Master does

     Rowan (rowanminx) laughs again....you can kiss my a**

    The rumours are true. John Nobhead does use SL. And that's where he gets his plots too.

    I thought we'd try something fun. (And hopefully this thread won't get deleted). 

    We've all had them. People who IM you, thinking they're something special but they turn out to have the intelligence of a block of wood. Let's get some of those wonderful conversations out in the open for all to enjoy. 

     A few ground rules:

    😀     Because of ToS, please delete the names of the ignorant before posting here. 

    😀     Let's try to keep racist, anti-semetic, homophobic, anything that violates the ToS, etc. conversations out. No one likes someone like that, no matter how stupid they are or how much they need to be brought out into the light. 

    I'll start (this comes from one of my alt accounts)

    Thinks he's God's gift to SL: smacks your firm ass. you need to be my ***** and mine alone
    Me: oh...and what do you have to offer me?
    Thinks he's God's gift to SL: all of me girl. I ain't a noob I don't pay for a girl to be with me
    Me: Did I ask you for money?  I asked why I should be your ***** and yours alone. needs to be something in it for me
    Thinks he's God's gift to SL: being mine is enough
    Me: Why? I just met you 3 minutes ago. What's the benefit of being your *****?
    Thinks he's God's gift to SL: then you would be knows as easy or a *****
    Thinks he's God's gift to SL: you would have every guy trying to knock you up
    Me: That's the plan. 6 guys in the last 6 days
    Thinks he's God's gift to SL: upgrade yourself yer (actual spelling of the word) 6 years old and still look like a noob
    Me: I like the way I look..and obviously you do too if you slapped my ass and want me to be your *****
    Thinks he's God's gift to SL: (busy response): LOOKS LIKE YA DONE SCREWED UP OR PISSED ME OFF... YOU ENDED UP IN MY PERSONAL DUMPSTER WITH THE REST OF THE TRASH

     

    Is he on match.com? I'll join the queue.

    Well I can't use artbreeder because apparently I've used iut before and used up all my free tries. But I managed to do something similar with Faceapp.

    This one is a morph of me in RL with my avatar.  Holy hell there's no way on earth I can use this, I would never get a minute's peace! He also doesn't pass for 54 years old. I wish I'd looked like that when I was 30.

    So again using Faceapp I aged him up to nearer my age...

    Still too good looking. 

    Finally a gender-swapped and suitably aged-up version for my girl alts...

    Hmm.. nope, I think I'll pass.

    Don't you like them??

    Yeah that's more like what I was seeing in a news report -- row after row of empty shelves in stores.  I mean it looked Apocalyptic. 

    I think it's regional. Where I am, we've had some shelf gaps in the last few months but not stripped bare like they were in March last year. A few times the fresh product aisles have been empty, usually late in the evening. The petrol situation is now OK here as well, although in some places pumps are still dry. Maybe people realised that if teachers couldn't get into work, homeschooling would have to restart.

    I've not had decent satsumas since Brexit, though. I've stopped buying them, they're never fresh any more. Other produce is OK, but I buy fruit and veg from an independent greengrocer that has always sourced locally.
